LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 19, 1838. exercise over the minds of our Legislators, endeavoured to make our readers aware that the science of the Clergy and th it of legislwi,n arJ in direct opposition. The Ltter looks wholly to the future-the former wish to fix the mind wholly on the past. That there can be a new revelation the Clergy positively deny ; and every r ankle of know ledge about which they are conversant, or which they essay to fix on the mind, is the limited knowledge of an age long since gene by. Both the future and the present are only regarded by them with a view to model them by tte doctrines of the pat. On the contrary the legislator seeing that experience continually supplies new facts—that all the best established principles of his science are con tinually modified by an increased knowledge—and being continually compelled to model his conduct by the present with a view to the future—acts as if in his science there were a continual new revelation—he is always on the look-out for further information ; he gathers and preserves facts as they arise ; lie models his conduct by cir cumstances, and considers the past only as an index to the future. Now, this opposition between the science of the Legislator and the science of the Theologian is observed other countries, and by distinguished men, as well as here by us. In the article of the Edinburgh Review just published, on M. GUIZOT'S admirable work on civilization, there is an extract of an article by M. GUIZOT, contained in a recent number of th! Revue E'rancaise of which this is a Dr. STOCK was returned on Saturday for Cashel, with out opposition, in place of Mr. WOLFE, now Chief Baron. Mr. BALL, the new Attorney-General has been re-elected without opposition for CLONMEL. We are happy to see, by the division last night, that Sir R. PEEL prefers his principles as a statesman to his inte rest as a land-owner. He voted, though he did not speak, with Mr. GoULBURN, in opposition to the Parochial Assessment Bill. He regards it, therefore, like the Rev. Mr. JONES and the rest of the Clergy, as a Bill to plunder the Church for the advantage of the land-owners ; but as be was left in a minority of 31 to 59, it is clear that when a measure touches the interest of the landlords, his in fluence over his usual followers is little or nothing. The Bill, be it remembered, is opposed by Mr. Goer.- BURN in Parliament, and by the clergy out of Parliament, because it is, as they say, an iniquitous robbery on the part of the landed gentlemen ; and that denunciation Sir Ro- BERT PEEL has confirmed by his vote, though he abstained from supporting it by his speech. He believes them, as we believe and assert, and as all the anti-Corn-law people believe and assert, that the landowners arc capable of mak- ing laws to plunder other classes for their own benefit. That is a startling conclusion to be adopted by Sir Roam PittL, and it is one w hich the anti-Corn-law people will know how to turn to their advantage. The Paris Papers of Tuesday have all been received, from which we subjoin a report of the burning of the Vau deville Theatre. The fire was supposed to be purely ac cidental, and fortunately was extinguished without loss of life. No estimate could be formed on Tuesday of the pe cuniary loss sustained by this calamity, as by a proper Police regulation strangers were refused all access to the ruins. The Prince de JOINVILLE arrived at Neuifiy on Mon- day evening. The Siecle gives the following paragraph as the substance of a communication received from a well-informed corres pondent at Constantinople : " The treaty of Unkiar.Skelessi,:which, amongst other clauses, inter dieted, as is well known, the passage of the Dardanelles to all foreign vessels of war except Russian, is not enough for the always increasing exigencies of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, which at this moment soli. tits from the Ottoman Ministry, almost tin eateningly, a revision of this treaty, already so disastrous for Turkey, and so hostile to France and England. The Turkish Government refuses to change the stipulations of the treaty of Unkiar, judging, with reason, that it is better to retain a bad position, than to accept one from its enemy which cannot fail to be worse. This diplomatic manceuvre of Russia (says our correspond. ent), coincides wonderfully with the hostilities of Mehemet Ali against the Sultan. In the midst of all these events, which Russia stirs up on every side to mask her projects and mislead opinion, the inconceivable immobility and exemplary abnegation of the French and English Cabi. nets, may for every compromise the interests which they represent. It is beyond a doubt, that if the Ottoman Ministry be not energetically up. held in its refusal to change the stipulations of Unkiar, a new treaty will be extorted from it by Russia ; and this treaty will, perhaps, be the last. The Mole and Palmerston Ministries, generally so ill informed on the affsirs of the East, incur at this moment a serious responsibility. God grant that they do not prove the truth of the saying of Itivarol, ' Hell is paved a i• h good intentions.' " - We have Madrid papers of the 10th, but they contain no news of interest. Sir GEORGE VILLIERS was about to return to London for a few weeks, having on the Bth in troduced Lord WILLIAM HERVEY to the REGENT as British Charge d'Affaires during his Excellency's absence. It is supposed that our Cabinet is desirous of consulting with him on the subject of certain measures relative to the pacification of Peninsula, the exact import of which has not yet transpired. Some wag circulated a report among the Carlists that five of the Great Powers had recognized Don CARLOS as KING of SPAIN. The rumour spread like wildfire, and no sooner did it reach Estella than, notwithstanding its obvious absurdity, all the bells were set a ringing, and gra tuities were distributed among the soldiers. The re-action, when the truth would come to be known, was expected to be frightful. The following is the account of 'the destruction of the Vaudeville Theatre, referred to above : (From Galignani's Meuenger.) At a little after three o'clock this morning, this theatre,_situated, as eur readers are aware, almost at the corner of the Rue de Chartres and St. Thomas du Louvre, and close to the Place du Paleis Royal, was dis covered to be on fire by one of the firemen who are always placed on duty in each of the theatres of the capital. The flames originated, it is believed, in the 1, ardrobe.room, which was placed in the upper stories of the building, and they soon made the snout rapid pt ogress. The alarm was instantly liven, and all the persons dwelling within the theatre were enabled to make their eseepe; but from the nature of the edifice itself, which was old, and one of the most patchwork build ings in Paris, it was impossible to oppose the progress of the fire ; and a I that could be done was to endeavour to confine the destiuc. live elemeht within the walls of the theatre. From its proximity to the great reservoir en the Place du Palais Royal, and to several borne f,nt t tines, there was nc waist of water. Detachments of firemen soon a - rived from the neighbouring stations, as well as national guards, troops of the line, and horse and foot municipal guards. Had not assistance been EO rapidly procured, the fire would have corn. mitten great ravages with the houses on the other side.of the Rue de Chartres, where a window frame of cne aeon took file, but the house itself wes not much injured. On account of the confined locality it was not possible for us to get near the burning building; and about five o'clock all communication by the Rue St. Hanore anti other streets was cut off front the Place du Pa'ais Royal. The ends of the .rue de Chartres anti the ltue St. Thomas du Louvre, on the Place du Carrousel, we r e also guarded by troops. From the appearance of the smoke and flames, between five and six o'clock, it was evi•ent that much of the interior must have Buten in ; and 60011 alter, great part of a projecting wall of the theatre in the nue de Chartres fell corn with a tremendous crash, and blocked up the street. The engine hoses played from the roofs and different floors et' the opposite houses on the walls of the theatre and houses ad joining; and the firemen took their stations at the windows of the Hotel do Lille, the inmates of which, including many English vi.iters, had to deeaanp rather quickly from their beds. The restaurant P..rly, w ieh fosrne the corner cf the two streets, was not injured by the flames, owing to a strong party_ wall. On the Carrousel there was a vigorous press for hands to form the chain fur pass:n,7; the buckets, &c., and we saw a fireman give chase to an individual as tar as the gateway leading on to the quay, and a s Idler t f the lisle threaten with his bayonet a spectator unwilling t s Ise'p. The w.ves and children of the King's grooms and coachmen were at the a lotto., of the stab!es in the Rue St. 'llsomai du Louvre, as well as at the front in the Rue de Chartres, and we saw some female ap parently tine.' neerned at a window close to the theatre, which showed hat not much (larger was apprehended by the neighbours. Marshal Labau, with part of his staff, was easly on the scene of devastation, and was succeede t by another general officer, attend st by two officers of his stall, who went in all quarters gi, big direct,ons. The relent that a fiscnan had been killed shortly after the breaking out of the conflagra. lion, we have reason to believe is not true ; and, as far as we can learn, few accidents halo tal.en place. A letter from St. Omer, of the fith, says, " We are informed that 6.000 men ate to come to St. Omer lor the camp; 4,000 will to wt. .*ansped, and 2,000 will lodge in the town. The 12th of Light Infantry, the 43d, 60th, and 6711 i of the line, and part of the train, will arrive here very shortly. We are likewise informed that cavalry and artillery wilt e one by the month of Septemb.r, and that the Duke of Orl.ans I go at that time to the camp of Delfaut, to command the suanuluvres. The Marquis de Porronays died lately, in the arrondissement cf An. cennes, at the age eight yame years. FIIENCH FUNDS.—PAaIs, JULY 17. rive Pe. 511* 3 C. 35c.

Ha and his party arc generally held up as exclusively the friends of the landed interest. Now, however iniquitous may be this Bill, as the Clergy say it is, it cannot be halt' so iniquitous as the law which goes to starve the people to enrich the landowner, for this only slightly impoverishes the Clergy to the same end. It. is not, therefore., the mere iniquity of the measure which influenced Sir ROBERT and the Tories. The landed gentlemen, however, desire the Bill much : they think it is for their benefit, and they carry it through the House of Commons in spite of Sir R. I'EEL. It is plain, then, that he and his party are not staunch friends of the landed interest : they prefer the Chula, and they only cajole the landed gentlemen by their professions that they may maintain the clergy in splendour. For the starving people, for strangled manufacturers, for stifled industry, though it sus!alned millions, tl.ey do not care a ru h ; when tiwy atone stand in tl.c way, the Tory leaders still willingly work the iniquity which the landlords desire of them ; but when they, to serve the same friends, must touch the Church, then the Twin are no longer the ex- EXC/Wing on 1.01:0014 One month, paper, 2sf.

When the evil is known, however, the public spirit of the inhabitants, their humanity, and also their self interest, will, ere long, provide their remedy. About the past there can be no question of doubt. Let any one read Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH'S account of a personal inspection of the districts of Bethnal-green and Whitechapel in 1830, and doubt for a moment why fever in one shape or another constantly prevail , . Owing to want of water or want of cleanliness, typhus fever periodically commits great ravages in Glasgow and Edinburgh. In the latter town it rages at present to a frightful extent. The causes of malaria wound Rome and in parts of Tuscany are well known ; and so powerrul are the effects of fluids in a stagnant state, that even a small pool will affect the whole neighbou-- hood with disease. A. fever some years ago perio dically visited the inhabitants on Blackheath, with- II out any assignable cause, till owing to the ac cidental draining of a pool of stagnant water in a• gravel-pit it entirely disappeared. II in an open space such effects can be produced, who can wonder that fever is so prevalent among the ill-fed poor in London ? The ex trnt of the evil at present requires an instant remedy. From all accounts, fever never was more prevalent, and till some more efficient law is passed, praise rather than blame would be given to the parochial authorities for taking the most severe measures againot the proprietors of houses and grounds where these nuisances are allowed to remain.

The following very contradictory advices from the Bra ails have reached us this morning. Letters from Mexico of the 15th May state that the entire coast of that State was strictly- blockaded by the French squadron under Commodore BAZOCHE. The squadron consisted of five ships of war and a frigate. A Mexican brig from Cadiz, richly laden, was seized in the Gulf, and declared good prize. The Captain and crew were set ashore, stripped of all they possessed, except their wearing apparel. An English vessel from Liverpool was likewise detained, but we are not informed whether she was declared a prize or not. The French have gone so far as to prevent any fishing on the Mexican coast, though, when the blockade was first declared, the fishermen were expressly excepted from its operation : The Committee met this morning at Eleven o'clock. Mr. HILL proceeded to open the case of the petitioners, remarking that he should confine himself chiefly to the allegations of the petition. The prayer of the petition was, first, that this Committee should declare that Mr.' Fector was disqualified at the last election, and, therefore, ought not to have been returned, and that his return was consequently void ; and, secondly, that notice of such disqualification having been given to the electors before they voted, and their votes in favimr of Mr. Fector being therefore thrown away, Mr. Robarts, although he had the minority of votes, yet had the majority of legal votes, and the second prayer of the petition was, that he might be declared duly elected. The election of Mr. Fector was thereby sought to be. voided, and the election of Mr. Robarts to be declared a valid election. At the general election in this month of last year, Mr. Wyndham Lewis and Mr. D'lsraeli were returned, and a few months afterwards a vacancy was created by the death of Mr. Lewis. A new writ was ordered to supply that vacancy, and at the election there appeared two candidates, Mr. Fector and Mr. Robarts. The petition alleged that Mr. Fector, by him self and his agents, at that election, was guilty of bribery and treating, and a petition was presented against him, which came on to be heard in June. In that petition, which was set forth in the pi esent petition, there were three allegations—first, that there was bribery by Mr. Fector and Isis agents; secondly, that there was treating by Mr. Fector and - his agents ; and thirdly, that there was systematic bribery and treating, by which Mr. Fector was returned, and the last allegation did not state that Mr. Fector er his agents took part in that systematic bribery and treating. On these al. legaticns the hearing was had. That petition, unlike the present, did dot seek to seat the unsuccessful candidate, but simply to void the election on the grounds which he had mentioned. On that occasion evidence was offered to prove that a gentleman named Potts was the agent of Mr. Fector at that election. The Committee decided that Mr. Potts was fixed with the character of agent, and then before anything material had occurred, the Learned Counsel, on the part of Mr. Fector, stated that Mr. Potts having been declared by the Committee to be in agent of Mr. Fector, Mr. Fector would retire from the contest. Upon that taking place the Committee resolved that the election was a void election, and they reported that to be the c.tse, and a new writ was directed to issue, upon which a few weeks ago a new election took pla:te. He contended on behalf of the petitioners that Mr. Fector was under a disqualification at the time of the last election, that he was pro. cisely in the same situation as if he had been a contractor with the Go vernment, or was labouring under any other disqualification ; and he supposed that his Learned Friends would not dispute that if the Corn. mittee had. followed 'up the declaration of the void election by a resole. Lion that the voidance was on the ground of bribery, or treating, by Mr. Fector or his agents, that there would have been an undisputed disqualification at the last election. If there was any point completely settled it was this. But he apprehended his Learned Friends would say here was only an avoidance in general terms, and that that avoidance was not the same thing as an avoidance where the ground of it was stated. He should submit that in fact it was exactly the same thing, and that he supposed would be the main point of controvorsy. It could not depend on the wording of the resolution of a Committee, whether that which the law stigmatised as an offence should meet with its punishment or not. If the resolution had stated that the seat was voided by Mr. Fec tor on the ground of bribery, this petition would not have been here, for no gentleman would have undertaken the risk of au election, if he had felt himself to be under a disqualification. It was cast upon him (Mr. Hill) to show that Mr. Fector was unseated upon the ground of bribery or treating, and of this there could be no doubt, as it was quite clear on the evidence which would be put in. The moment Mr. Potts was de clared to be an agent, Mr. Fector retired—that was, lie suffered judg ment to go by default, or in other words, pleaded guilty after certain evidence had been adduced. He submitted, %therefore, that the Corn.. mittee was exactly in the same situation as if the previous Committee had stated the grounds of their decision; for if he showed on the mi nutes that Mr. Fector was unqualified, it was immaterial whether the ground was stated or not in the resolution. There were several cases in point, and they were all on the principle which he had laid down. Mr. Thomas Pybus, mayor of Maidstone at the last election, deposed that he delivered the poll.books, at the last election, to the town-clerk. Mr. C. T. Smith, the town-clerk, produced the poll.books. Mr. Frere, the Committee clerk, produced the preceding petition, and the minutes of the proceedings which took place before the last Committee. (From the Correio Official, May 16 ) The Minister of the Interior, in his report to the Legislative Assem bly, says, under the head of the Imperial Family:—" The Government has scrupulously fulfilled the only obligations imposed on it by the law relative to the family which Divine Providence has placed on the throne of Brazil ; they are the supply of the means for the support and the edu cation of the august minors, the hope and pride of the Brazilian na tion. It is, however, highly important that, observing the regulations laid down on the fundamental law of the empire, you should endeavour accurately to inform yourselves respecting the actual state of their education, taking such measures as your wisdom may suggest, in order that their education may be such as is suitable to their altered station, that their income may be duly employed to main tain their splendour, and that their Court may be composed of en. lighlened, and above all of virtuous persons. With respect to the public tranquillity of the empire, the Minister states that after the termination of the rebellion in the province of Bahia and the successes of the Imperial troops in the province of Sin Pedro, the force of the rebels is so broken, and that of the friends of the law and of the Throne so increased, that if the time when legality will completely triumph cannot be precisely fixed, it may be affirmed that it is not distant. .. MAY 17.—Despatches from the Government of Cuiaba, Gogas, and Ouro Preto, announces that these provinces enjoy perfect tranquillity. —Corrieo Official of Rio de Janeiro, May 21. Rio DE JANEIRO, MAY 21.—The Government forces have just been routed by the rebels, in the province of Pedro do Sul. The column stationed on the Rio Pardo was attacked on the 29th ult. by Bento Manoel. It is said that this is the greatest disaster that our arms have experienced in that quarter. This event, though deplorable, must not discourage us, since the country can make further sacrifices to save the integrity of the empire. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, by the Skylark—sailed on the 221 May ; from Bahia, 12th June : and Pernambuco 25th June. All was quiet at the above places. She has brought home about 80,000 dollars, for Merchants' account. The above dates are old from Rio Janeiro. We have received Prince Edward Island papers to the 21st June; these papers are chiefly filled with news from Canada, already anti cipated. From the Halifax papers, received to the 26th June, we extract the f o ll ow ing We are sorry to learn that the Seal Fishery from New foundland this year has not been so successful as the last." From St. John's, Newfoundland, under date the 23d May, we learn that a !etter has been received by his Excellency the Governor, descrip tive of a most frightful epidemic which had prevailed at the French island, St. Picrres, since the month of October last; and that his Excel lency lost no time in submitting the accounts for the consideration of the medical gentlemen of the town. Mr. COCKBURN then proceeded to sum up the case, and to contend that, on the minutes put in of what took place before the last Commit tee, Mr. Fector was disqualified. In support of his argument he cited the Honiton election case (3 Luder, p. 162), the Canterbury case (Clif. ford's Reports, p. 353), the Camelford case (Corbett and Daniel, p. 239), and several others. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. This case, which was opened yesterday, came before the Court upon motion on behalf of certain bargemen navigating the Kennett and Avon canals, to restrain the defendants from building a bridge across the feeder to the Bristol Dock, in the way proposed by the defendants, and which the piaintiffs contend would greatly impede their navigation, by separating the towing-path from the canal. Mr. PEMBERTON was heard this morning on behalf of the defendants, who contended that in the case of every bridge built across the river Thames, from Oxford to Datchet, the towing.path was separated from the river, and that no complaint had ever been made that such a plan obstructed the navigation of the river. In the course of the argument, his Lordship suggested that, as there was a coffer dam erected in the feeder, and as the effect of that wes nearly similar to what the effect of the proposed bridge would be, an ex periment should be made by both sides, to see how far the bargemen would be inconvenienced. citizen been ad othoroughlyfu sanctioned,elg iu c m n andv pledged we etdh feelai t n y ourasu ever y 1% M ajesty j thinget h s t a y t its dignity, you would cause all its rights to " Star—Amidst the mistrust excited by a tardy assent to a treaty hithertot.that ath:if ecrtesj King,eic st aschd o, proclaimed,tnho w eu e rfi h ra a n s t ' d e be ou our confidence, though ardent, is nevertheless completely j us tifi e d .

TO THE EDITOR 01' THE SUN. Sts, —Having read very recently, in several of the London papers, that the fitting her MajesWs ship Hastings, for con veyance of Lord Durham, his family and suite, to Quebec, had cost an extravagant sum ; that the equipage of the table, with the furniture of the cabins, Sze., were of the most costly description—added to which, that the captain and officers of the ship were deprived of their proper apartments, and other wise incommoded, to make room for Lord Durham's servants— I was determined to employ an idle half-hour in visiting the Hastings in the basin of Portsmouth Dockyard, for the ex press purpose of satisfying myself how far the actual state of the ship agreed with the accounts which have been published. An officer of the rank of Lieutenant was polite enough to accompany me round the Hastings, and under his permission the equipage of every description was shown. The chintz furniture of the state apartment , , cf which so much has been said, cost the several prices of 51, 6d., and 7d. per yard ; the carpeting, from 3s. 6d. to 6a. per yard ; the tables and chairs, of that usual description which we find in respectable lodging-houses ; the glass and crockery ware, not equal to what is used on the tables of respectable hot..ls, viz., tumblers, Bs. per dozen; decanters, 15s. per pair ; wine-glasses. 6s. 13 , =r dozen ; earthen-ware, from Si. to 71. the crate : in short, not one article of any description was of a quality that may not be found in the house of any middle-class tradesman. So much for the veracity of those very pious and ma: al papers, the Times, the Standard, &c. ! With regard to the apartments of the officers, and the in convenience they bad been exposed to. I was told by my obliging friend who conducted me through the ship, that no other alteration was made in their cabins than what is gene rally adopted on the reception of a Wig-officer, or any Minister being ordered a passage in a 74-gun ship ; indeed, in the Hastings, the midshipmen were better off than is generally the case in most ships. Lord Durham's courtesy to the captain and officers of the Hastings was remarkable rather for its suaviter than other wise—four officers of the ship dining at 11;s Lordship's table every day ; and his friendly and cordial Jispositi in, to make conversation general and agreeable, was so evident, that the most prejudiced mind must have been relieved from any anxiety. In troubling you with this statement of- facts, for which I solicit a place in your widely-circulated and liberal paper, I have no other motive than to disabuse the public mind of a fa'sc impression, which has doubtle , :s bz'en s t afloat for some vie purpose which the Times and Standard have in view. I am, Sir, your vi•ry obliged, CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER. Portsmouth, July 18, 1838, The. Pique frigate came into harbour yester.lay, to refit ; and the Apollo and Edinburgh are ready fur sea. Lord Howe and Captain Cuizon, who a-0 attached to the establishment of the Dowager Queen, mere on board the Hastings Yesterday, for the purpose of rnAking such alterations and arrangements as may be required for bar Majesty's ac commodation. The Hastings is expected to proceed about the end of August for Malta, via Lisbon, Catliz, Gibral tar, Genoa, and Naples. [Our• Correspondent is probably not aware that an offleial account of the expense of the outfit of the Hastings has already been published, and put to silence, if not to shame, the poor scribblers.] It was generally stated in and about the House of Commons yesterday evening, that the present Session will not conclude until the 20th of August. If so, the two Houses will have continued sitting for nearly nine months. _ _ The Must' ions foreigners having expressed a wish to seethe superb edifice, which was once the residence of Cardinal \Volsey, and afterwards the abode of the unfmtunate Duke of Mon • mouth, the Marquis of Westminster, the possessor of that mansion, has invited them to a dejeune a la faurclaette on Saturday next. Since the period when Lord and Cat) , \Vo•tminster entertained William IV. and his Queen, a bum considerably more than thirty thousand pounds has been expended on the estate. . _ A inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the King's Arms, Ronpell.street, Lambeth, on the body of an infant, named Harris ; s!.veral witnesses were examined, from whose testimony it ap peared that on the morning of Tuesday, the 10th instant, the mother of the deceased was coming out of her house in White Horse-street, when a woman, named Fitz, came up to her and struck her several severe blows. The poor woman in endeavouring to get into a neighbour's house, in her fright let the deceased fall out of her arms on to the stone steps. The child was attended by Mr. Brady, a surgeon, living in Charlotte.strect, Blackfriars-road, up to the time of its death, which took place on Saturday morning. In consequence of the various re p orts in circulation the coroner ordrred a post mortem examination to be made, which was done; but Mr. Brady having given it as his opinion that the blow (although it was a very severe one and might have hastened dissolution) was not the cause of death, the jury, after a long consultation, as one was of a different opinion, ultimately returned a verdict of " Died front inflammation of the lungs." . _ KING'S COLLEGE.--The University of Edinburgh has determined that three out of the four years required by the Uni versity for its degree of 51. D. may be passed in studying at the medical school, King's College, London. The resolution thus made places this College on the same footing as the Universities of Dublin and Paris with regard to Edinburgh medical degrees. ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—We are informed that one of the female patients, or rather actresses, in the London Univer sity, has, like Petronilla Leclerc, in Paris, turned traitress, and peached about the tricks and contrivances; for which she has been unceremoni ously dismissed from he: situation in the hospital —Literary Gazette. ST. SWITHIN DEFEATED.—The rainy saint held his anniversary, and satisfied his devotees with abundant showers. The charm, however, is since broken, n i more rain havirg since fal len, and some of his former admirers begin to think him, like Murphy, a hit of a humbug. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—OiI Tuesday last, a stout young man, belonging to Alloa, lost his life under the following revolting circumstances. He had been drinking with some pensioners on the evening of the above day, when, in order to gain same foolish bet, he persisted in swallowing such s quantity of ardent spirits, that he im. mediately died in consoluonee.—Edinburgh Courant, elusive friends of the landed interest. The Whigs sup. port it, but the Tories denounce its objects as iniquitous. We are glad then of this discussion—it has already un veiled many hypocrisies, and as the Bill has yet to be discueeed in another House it will unveil, not a few more. What sill the Lords do with the Bill ? Will :he Tory landlo.ds resist this appropriation as sturdily as they re sisted the appropri-lion of the Irish Church property, and brand all the assenting landlords of the lower House as iniquitously de,iring to plunder the Church ? What %%ill the Bishops say? Will they who have Lever opened tin it mouths against the iniquitous Corn Law dare to de nounce this lesser iniquity, because they, holy men, are Tightly to be suff revs by it ? Is it t be sacrilege for the landowners to take a fraction of their tith.a by a law, and a t irtur us action for the said landlord: in conjunction Kith with the purple-clothed, capon-c rtir.n Prelates, to take the bread out of the mouths of the poor, and to starve l.uman he iii6s out of ey is!eace by the slow tortm e of insufficient nouri-h n out ? The bill has already, according to Mr. JONES and Mr, (10U LBu RN. laid hare the hypocritical prole:3l(ms of attach toe:.t to the Church made by the landlords, and it wig most probably, next week, let the world s,o what is the sincerie y, and what the hyPocrisy, of those who claim the respect of the world as the heavenly teachers, guardians, protectors, and guides of the poor. The Lull: of the Imdlords last night, including Sir ROBERT PEEL, gave a cheerful assent to a Bill for the recovery of small tenements. Originally it was limited to tenements of 104 value. On Sir Ro- Lewes motion it was made to apply to tenements of 20/. value. But why should there be any limitation ? Why should not the possessor of Siun Home. ,f he be wrongfully in possession, he ejected by the sime simple process as the tenant of a mud hovel ? Knowing the character of the landlords to which Sir R. PEEL last bight gave his certificate, we look with jealousy on these distinctions, and know that the tenantry will say that the simple process for houses of 20/. value, in none of which the landowners ever dwell, but of many of which they are the owners, will operate exclusively to their advantage, sshile if the law were made universal, some of them might be obliged summarily to quit their splendid mansions. They mean, we presume. still to preserve that principle of Magna Charta, which enables the poorest mans' cottage to bid defiance to all the forces of the Croan for them selves, but they are to abash it as to the poor, and open their houses to the posse comitatus. The language of Lord CHATHAM, at all times we are afraid on this subject more poetical than true, is no longer to have the shadow of a foundation. " The cottage," he said, be frail - • roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—th may enter, but the King of England cannot enter—alt has power dare not cross the threshold of thernmed tenement." The landlord, however, by Mr. AG LIONBY'S Bill as amended by Sir It. PEEL, may walk into all the houses they claim of less than 20/. value, and the maxim that an Englishman's *house is his castle, at any time, perhap s, but a fiction of saw, is no longer to have the semblance of an existence for houses below 20/. We do not disapprove of the prin ciple of the Bill so far as it goes to enable every man cheaply to recover what properly belongs to him, but we contend that it ought to apply equally to houses like Chatsworth,' a nd to the cottages of the poor. e rai We have of late on two or three occasions, and particu larly when speaking of tle influence which the Clergy translation : " In our time, by the course of events, by reciprocal faults —religion and society have ceased to comprehend and to move parallel one to the other. The ideas, sentiments, and interests which now prevail in the world, ar, every day condemned and reproved in the name of the ideas, the sentiments, and the interests of eternal life. Religion pronounces an anathema cn existing society, and holds itself apart; society is ready to accept both the denunciation and the separation." SO it is here. Look at our PLUMPTRES, our EXETERS, our Oxford Doctors—at the whole brcod of our intole rant Priests—intolerant, not only of men who profess another faith, but intolerant in their language, at least, of the pursuits, business and amusements of large classes of the people—and you will be convinced, Reader, that here, as in France, the ideas, sentiments, and interests of society are in practical opposition to the ideas,sentiments, and interests of th ose who expound religious science. We do not, howe ver, agree with M. Gunn. in saying that this betokens any fault in society. Men cannot help their condition, or alter their place, and over all their sentiments, thoughts, and feelings, considered in the aggregate, over their minds, too, for they all appeal to material facts as the ultimate test of all correct knowledge, the physical world predominates with irresistable power. It is not the fault of the generation, then, that it differs from the priests ; but it is in the very nature of things that sentiments, feelings, thoughts, know ledge, and habits of successive generations, should sepa rate them more and more widely from the sentiments, feelings, thoughts, knowledge, and habits of that past age which the theologians always endeavour to make the rule of conduct. The House of Commons went into Committee last night for the further consideration of the Report on the Recovery of Tenements Bill. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, according to his wont, made a splenetic speech with a view to throw out the Bill, but found little support even from his own party, six members being all who could muster hardihood sufficient to vote with the ill-conditioned and Right Hon. Baronet. The Bill is much wanted to supply a great defect in the law of land lord and tenant, which, in its practical working, operates in many cases most injuriously on the interests of the former. There is no redress for the owner of a low-rented tenement against an unprincipled tenant. As the law now stands, such a tenant may keep possession of the house and defy the landlord to turn him out, unless by a process, the expense of which would exceed the value of the house. The Bill in question applies a remedy for this evil, by giving Justices of the Peace a summary jurisdiction in cases where the occupier of a house not exceeding 201. of yearly rent, refuses to give up possession, after due notice. As we are on this subject, we beg to call the attention of Honourable Members to a great anomaly in this branch of the law, which is often made the instrument of gross ex tortion by pettifogging attornies. When a tenant quits a house, should he leave a cracked pane of glass, a nail-hole in the plaster of a wall, or any other damage of themosttrang description, he is at the mercy of the landlord, who may bi log his action in the Sheriff Court ; and, if ho can prove his case, must get costs, which, in fact, is all he wants. In other cases it is possible for the defendant to stay an action by tendering to the plaintiff, or paying into Court, such a sum of money es he thinks will cover the damages. Then, if tit , plaintiff proceeds, he does so at his peril. In actions for dilapidation, however, the plaintiff is not bound to pay the least regard to any step of this kind, anal the only question with him is, whether he will gain more by getting his costs than by accepting the amount tendered. We know that much oppression is exercise l unchl- the sanction of this law, in cases where low attornies are the owners of houses, or happen to be rel ited to the owners. Might not a remedy be applied in the Bill now before the House ? During the wAr with France the ignorance of the Go vernment and of the writers in the public Press of that country, reTecting the character of the people of England, often gave rise to most extraordimiry mi.stakes and delu sions. %Nilsen S.r FRANCIS BURDETT, in the heyday of his radicalism, resisted the constituted authorities, denounced the borougbmong.Ts, and advocated univ ersal suffrage and annual Parliaments, for the purpose of collecting crowds to el e-r W e stmin , ter's pride" and " England's glory," the Fiencli people believed we were on the eve of a rev oluth-n. Even a squabble at an erection, followed by sonic broken heads, afforded them no small consolation ; and a meal-mob was considered a certain precursor of an rgrativn law. In these days, after intercourse with us for a quarter of a cen t u , y,tliey are as ignor ,nt of the EngEsli character as ever ; and no wonder they are puzzled what to make of the general and hearty welcome riven to SOULT, and at!riute it to ;ms , cause hut the rig'.t one. Sonic wiseacr, s in the ex trern;ty of their difficulties attribute all this stir about the old General to polifcs, and conekide that it mutt work wonders in the French Cabinzlt, put a stop to prosecutions against the Pr. st as in this country, or at least c, mpei Louis l'att.ifec to adhere to one of the moat sacred eon t tines on which he mounted the Tnrone—thetr:al by Jury. Our neighbouts, however, may rest assures! that there is not a particle of political feelin i ?; in the who s e exhibition. The lower classes know nothing about SOCLT'S politics— hey. recognise him Duly as an old acquaintance, whose name' was almost • as familiar to them thirty years ago as WELLINGTON'S ; sn I the middle class, who c 1 eer him a 4 hei.rtily, know that the poltics of one who was a favourite with the SOVEREIGN duri:lg the despotism of the the empire, and held office under the bigotted BourLons, and then under the CITIZEN KING, cannot be of a very de cided character. Sour.T is well received here for his per son el merits alone. We admire him because he raised himself from the ranks to the highest place in the army—be cause be faithfully served his country—disputed every inch of ground from Vittoriato Toulouse—did everythingin his power to defeat British troops, and because in his old age, he has paid a compliment to the generosity of the British people by coming among them as their guest. And as to political effect, he can only tell Louts PHILIPPE what that Sovereign already knows, that the Press here requires no PERSIL for Attorney-General, nor September laws to preserve the Throne ; and that with an army hardly sufficient for garrison duty, Queen VICTORIA is more se cure than his Master with five hundred thousand bayonets. The Poor Law Commi,s:oners, in an Appendix to a Report, ordered by the House of Commons, have given a number of documents, shoviing the frightful prevalence of fever in tie metropolis, together with remedies proposed by medical men for the abatement of this awful scourge of the poor ; and as the facts they state must be so obvious as to attract the attention of the parochial authorities, even on the ground of economy, we believe that every friend of the poor—even those most hostile to the New Poor Law— will give great credit to the Commissioners for bring ing this important subject before the public. The disease prevails chitfly among the poor, in low crowded neigh.: bourhoods, such as St. Giles, Bethnal-green, Shore ditch, and Walworth, where the drainage is defective, or where there is no drainage at all, but large open ditches containing stagnant filth, where the houses are dirty and crowded to excess, water is scarce, and-heaps of vege table and animal remains are allowed to putrify in heaps at the bottom of close ccurts, and not unfrequently even In the front of inhabited houses.

FRENCH EXPEDITION.—The French Government are about sending a scientific expedition to the Scandinavian peninsula an d Spitsbergen, the leader of which is M. Gaimard, the naturalist, who conducted the recent expedition to Iceland. It is said that Louis Philippe, who travelled through Sweden and Norway, Lapland and Fin land, in 1795. takes a particular interest in the expediti on, an d h as him self pointed out the objects most worthy of attention. The Swedish Government lends its cordial assistance, and a body of Norwegian and S w edish naturalists and engineers are to join the French savans. Some of the party are to winter in Hammerfest, near North Cape. The vessel destined for Spit zbergen is to attempt the passage northward to the North Polo. Thus, as M. D'Urville, who sailed last year in command of the Zelee and Astrolabe, had orders to approach the South Pole as nea r as possible, the French Government will h ave to b oast that i ts elf.rts in behalf of science extend at the same time from Pole to Pole.— F or eign Quarterly Review.

INDIGO SALE.-THIS DAY, The sale to-day was not so brisk as it has been, and prices are rather lower than they were yesterday. It is expected that the sale will finish is week, COLONIAL MARKETS. This market continues quiet, and the demand is not brisk. Bare consumption rules the purchases, and prices under such circumstances vary very little indeed, nor are they expected to do so. British Plan tation Sugar sells very slowly, and yesterday's prices rule. Refined Sugar Is 345. for fine crushed, and 85s. for lumps to pass the standard. Today we have public sales of 1,700 bags Yellow lb vannah, and 200 White Havanna!' Sugar, which sold at pre. vious rates. Coffee, 222 casks and 302 bags B.P. 204 bales Mocha and 105 bags Ceylon. There is more life in the Coffee than in the Sugar Market, and the prices of B. I'. and Mocha are looking up a I ttle. Ceylon realizes its previous value. Cassia Lignea, Ginger, and Pimento sold to.day at previous rates, or thereabouts, and 83 did Pepper. Saltpetre is rather Bat, and 2,192 bags w en t muc h as be.. fore in price, say from 225. ‘to 25s , according to quality, but all did not sell. In fact, the whole of the Colonial Market is very quiet, and no commodity appears likely for the present to vary in value. The imports of East and West India produce were light. For to.mor. row we have public sales of 10,000 bags Manilla Sugar ; 11,400 of Mauritius ; 2,400 Bengal ; and 300 casks Barbadoes. Coffee-70 casks and 35 bags.
